One of the things I want to start doing is becoming more handy at fixing things. I don't want to rely on having to pay people outrageous amounts of money to fix trivial things. My dad is my motivation for this. As with many things, my parents are my motivation to be better. My dad is not handy by any stretch of the imagination and he's also lazy when it comes to certain things, he'd rather spend hundreds of dollars paying someone to fix something than do it himself. Now, I'm not talking about rebuilding a transmission, but recently the cheap plastics, namely my door handles, used in the interior of my car have been cracking, I have had the car for more than 11 years so it is to be expected. So, I went down to the dealership and got the parts number and found them for cheap on Amazon. I also found a website with step-by-step instructions with pictures. The whole thing will only take about 10 min per door. One dealership wanted to charge me $90 for labor, another wanted to charge me $200!! And that was when I thought I only needed to replace 1 handle! So, I ordered the parts from Amazon and will install them myself! :)
